  1. Strict
  2. Permissive/Overindulge
  3. Neglectful

INTRO
Hook:- Children mirror their parents.
Background : When I was a child, I have always looked up to both of my parents as my role models, as someone who I yearn to be when I grow up. However, my friend, Nancy, did not share the same experience towards her parents. I thought to myself, “Why? Did they not give her enough McDonald’s? Or purchased enough barbie doll houses for her?”, these questions lingered with me as I grew older.

Thesis: Until that day when I slept over at her house only I realized how there were numerous types of parents instead of singular type as I compared my parents with hers. The type of parents can range from strict parents who relied on punishments to neglectful parents that have a hard time forming relationships with their children.


BODY PARAGRAPH
Categories:

  1. Strict parents 
  • Strict parents are those who believe restriction is the best way to raise their children.
  • To illustrate, they give strict rules to their children. If the children do not obey, they will get punishment from their children such as canning. 
  • Different from abusive parents, strict parents give punishment to their children for their sake. This is to prevent children from making the same mistakes again in the future. 


      (2) Neglectful parents
  • Neglectful parents are those who have a hard time forming relationships or having basic conversation with their children. They have no idea of what is going on in their children’s lives inside and outside of their houses. They show no interest or does not share the same enthusiasm with their children in whatever they do.
  • “My parents never asked how I was doing in school.”, “My parents never came for my dance performance at school.”, “My parents never care for me.”, uttered Nancy.
  • Neglectful parents can be helped through education or awareness of their children’s feelings, if their children have a hard time in telling their parents how they feel, going to the school’s counselor would be the next best option.







       (3) Permissive parents 
  • Permissive parents are those who overindulge their children. 
  • For example, they will never say no when their children ask them for anything. 
  • The intention of the parents is to make their children happy and not to disappoint them. However, this behaviour can make their children spoiled. 

CONCLUSION 
  • There is no such thing as the correct way of parenting. Certain parenting style is good for different scenarios. Parents should strive to be balanced on educating their children.

 Basis of classification: purpose
 
 1. Football fans: go there to watch matches, big screen, watch together with group of friends, they can talk loudly; being commentators, just order a  drink, always wear their own team jersey
 
 2. Hang out buddies : from group of 3-20 people, discussion of pointless things, a friendly meeting, a reunion of friends, different from football fans because they’re noisy throughout their meet up, one type of these people are the smoking buddies,

3. Heavy-eaters : they’ll not leave without having a tandoori, their  ‘nasi kandar’ comes with extra rice and flood of curry, they come just for the food and usually don’t come in large groups, averaging from just lone visits to a mere group of three,

4. Pack food and eat at home: come alone and buy for a town,  causes for the long queues in big ‘nasi kandar’ shops, and usually customize each meal, making the purchasing process a long one,
